[ 2008] Electronic Surveillance and the Right To Be Secure 979 INTRODUCTION The U.S. Supreme Court's decision forty years ago in Katz v.United States1 represented a paradigm shift in Fourth Amendment analysis.2 Departing from a trespass-based theory of protection, Katz instructed that "the Amendment protects people, not places,"3 and provided courts with the now-familiar "reasonable . Whether the search of private quarters is accomplished by placing on the outer walls of the sanctum a detectaphone that transmits to the outside listener the intimate details of a private conversation, or by new methods of photography that penetrate walls or overcome distances, the privacy of the citizen is equally invaded by agents of the Government and intimate personal matters are laid bare to view. 564, 66 A.L.R.

Before the trial Shulman learned the facts and made a motion, in which the other petitioners joined, to suppress the evidence thus obtained. It is true that the absence of such penetration was at one time thought to foreclose further Fourth Amendment inquiry, Olmstead v. United States [1928]; Goldman v. United States [1942], for that Amendment was thought to limit only searches and seizures of tangible property. The next afternoon, one of the agents returned to the adjoining room with two others and a stenographer.

The petitioners contend that the trespass committed in Shulman's office when the listening apparatus was there installed, and what was learned as the result of that trespass, was of some assistance on the following day in locating the receiver of the detectaphone in the adjoining office and this connection between the trespass and the listening resulted in a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

The suggested ground of distinction is that the Olmstead case dealt with the tapping of telephone wires, and the court adverted to the fact that, in using a telephone, the speaker projects his voice beyond the confines of his home or office and, therefore, assumes the risk that his message may be intercepted. They provide a standard of official conduct which the courts must enforce. A preliminary hearing was had, and the motion was denied. The petitioner was convicted in the District Court for the Southern District of California under an eight-count indictment charging him with transmitting wagering information by telephone from Los Angeles to Miami and Boston in violation of a federal statute.
